CROCIN is the brand name, made of drug called acetaminophen. It is by far the best medicine for fever and usually will take care of any type or degree of fever. As a thumb rule a child needs some 10 mg per kilogram of bodyweight as a dose and one can give it as frequently as every 4 hourly if needed. The syrup works out to a ready calculation of one 5 ml measure per 10 kilogram body weight and the drops work out to double the number of drops as the body weight in kilograms. for adults and grown up children one tablet evry 4 hour can be taken.
The fever will come down in an hour of giving crocin with sweating. But again after 2/3 hours the fever may go up and you have to repeat the dose. This can be given safely.
However I would suggest to use Crocin as an emergency measure only. And if the fever is continuing you have to show to a general physician to assess the reason or cause for the fever and treat with alternate medication, as fever may come and continue for various reasons. -

Crocin does not treat fever. It only brings down the temperature so that one is more comfortable. For a treatment you need an anti-biotic.
Well for mild fevers Crocin works though. It’s always better to get professional help rather than self medicating.

Crocin is only used for temporary relief, proper medicine is required if there is fever, Crocin is mainly used for headache, bodyache, etc
